[3] At 19:32 (GMT-3) on 1 January 1970, the group boarded a Sud Aviation Caravelle, registration code PP-PDZ, of Serviços Aéreos Cruzeiro do Sul, heading to Rio de Janeiro/Galeão International Airport, with stopovers in Porto Alegre and São Paulo.

During this time, James Allen gave an interview through the plane window, surrounded by journalists and Peruvian soldiers with machine guns, talking about their demands and warning that the group was armed with pistols, daggers and hand grenades - which was a lie, they only had revolvers, as Galeno stated years later.

[2] The plane was withheld for 27 hours in Lima, due to a problem in the battery that caused an electric failure in the right engine and after Peruvian president Velasco Alvarado ordered the security forces to negotiate a surrender until exhaustion of the hijackers.

With the battery changed for a new one from Chile, the failure in negotiation and the hijackers threatening to kill the hostages, during the late night of 3 January the Peruvian government authorized the takeoff of the plane, which flew to Panama.

[2] 2 hours and 15 minutes later, with a red light flashing non-stop in the cockpit indicating lack of lubrication in the turbines, the Caravelle landed at José Martí International Airport, and guerrilla members, passengers, and crew were received by Cuban militaries.

[5] Cláudio Galeno, leader of the hijacking and first spouse of former president Dilma Rousseff, whom he was already separated for 2 years at the time, stayed for a few months in Cuba and then went to Chile, where he met and married Nicaraguan Mayra, a Sandinista guerrilla, banished to Santiago by the dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza Debayle.

When she returned to Brazil, Marília wrote the book "Nesta terra, neste instante", telling her adventures, worked with culture and, in the 2000s, she filed for a reparation to the Amnesty Commission, refused for the lack of supporting documents.

[4] She married again and began working as entrepreneur of the computing area, having as one of her largest clients the Brazilian Armed Forces, and has a house in Barra da Tijuca - where she still keeps photographs of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara - and another one in Miami.

[6] Isolde Sommer, who drew attention from crew and international press for her beauty, married another guerrilla, Reinaldo José de Melo, lived in Mozambique before returning from exile and received a reparation from the Amnesty Commission, along with Athos Magno and Nestor Herédia.
